This invention relates to boards for holding weft pirns, cops orvother textile packages.

The-object of thepresent invention is to provide aboard capable of withstanding prolonged usagein industry.

The board ofthe present invention consists of a base or support of relatively thick ply wood (for instance 9 ply) having a number 7 f prongs which penetrate the same at desired intervals and which project upwards from said. baseor support on the one side and the heads or anchorage of which prongs contact with said base or support on the other side, a backing of ply wood (preferably 3 ply or other relatively thin ply wood) being fixed to said base or support to press against the heads or anchorages of the prongs. 7

One convenient form of board according 1 to the invention consists of a base or support of 9 ply wood having a number of stout wire clout nails (e. g. of 8 gauge) which penetrate the same at desired intervals and which project upwards from said base or support on the one side and the heads of which nails contact with said base or support on the other side, a backing of 3 ply wood being fixed to said base or support, to press against the heads of the nails, by means of screws or nails.

In a preferred form of the invention we employ, instead of the wire clout nails above referred to, twin wire prongs of hair in shape having a bridge of loop or angle orimationset in a plane at right angles to the plane of the prongs. This bridge of loop or angle formation provides a very convenient and highly useful form of anchorage for the prongs. A board according to such form of 1 the invention may consist of a number of such twin prongs which penetrate a base or support of 9 ply wood at desired intervals and which project through said base or support on the one side, the bridge part of loop or angle formation contacting with or being partially '45 sunk into said base or support on the other side, a backing of 3 ply wood being fixed to the base or support by means of nails (preferably clinched nails) or screws, to press w against the bridge of the twin prongs.

The boards of the present invention may are clinched as shown after nailing.

comprise any desired number of prongs.

Conveniently they may be constructed wit 100 to 200 prongs.

The accompanylng drawings serve toillustrate some forms of execution of the invention, it being understood that they are given only by way of example and are in no way limitative.

Figures 1 and 2 which stout wire clout nails are employed for the prongs.- I

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of part of the board. Figure 2 is a plan of Figure 1."

Figures 3, 4 and 5 show forms of board in which twin prongs of the character above rethebase or support 1 on the one side, the heads I show a form of board in 3 of the nails2 contacting with said base or support on the other side.' A backing of 3 ply wood i is fixed to the underside of the base or support 1 by mearisfof' nails 5 whilch T 1e heads 3 of the-'nails2 are by these means firm- 1y held between the'base or support 1 and the backing 4. I I IReferring to Figures 3 and 4, the board shown in these figures consists of a base or support 1 of 9 ply wood through which a number of twin wire prongs 2 (for'instance 100 twin wire prongs) are driven to project on the upper side of the base or support 1. Each pair of prongs is formed with a bridge of loop formation 3a which provides a convenient anchorage for the prongs, and the prongs aredriven through the base or support 1 with their bridges 3a contacting with the underside, of said base or, support. A backing of 3 ply Wood 4 is fixed to the underside of the base or support 1 by means of nails which are clinched asshown after nailing.

The bridges of loop formation 3a are tightly held or gripped between the base or support ters Patent is land the backing 4.

Referring to Figure 5, this figure shows in plan partof a board; constructed in the same manner as that shown in Figures3 and a, similar numerals inFigurefi indicating correv sponding parts in Figure 4. In Figure. 5

however the twin wire prongs 2 are formed with bridge portions ofangleforrnation'fi'b 7 instead of loop formation.
